Revision #12
Dec 3, 2020
Once your pergola and retractable canopy have been correctly
installed, do a water test to confirm water is draining properly
from the canopy.
Please contact us immediately if large amounts of water remain
in each fabric fold when extended. The Canopy is designed to
hold several gallons of water per fold. If more than a gallon of
water is collecting in each fold, keep the canopy closed until a
solution is found. Failure to do so could void your warranty.
Trouble Shooting
Water Not Draining From Canopy
Possible Causes:
- Canopy Fabrics needs more drop. If fabrics are too tight when extended, water will not
drain properly. Try lowering achor knobs on both ends to increase fabric drop.
- Slope of Canopy not steep enough. Pergola could be sloped the wrong direction.
A deeper Lowering Cleat may be required.
Canopy Not Rolling Back and Forth Smoothly on Tracks
Possible Causes:
- Tracks and Wheels need to be Lubricated.
- Check Track to confirm it is straight. Bend or move track to straigten if possible.
- Mounting Track fasteners are impeding wheels. Check and adjust if necessary.

2 1/2” x 34”). Attach with 2-3 - 4” Torx Screws. Cleats will lower the canopy on one side and drain

situation. Position cleats underneath pergola joists or blocking as shown above and attach. Cleats are
pre-drilled for Torx Screws.
2. With Step Ladders and assistance, lift up Part B - 91 1/2” long Canopy Track and position
against post and tight to the underside of pergola joist on side (use side without lowering cleats first).
Align track against post. Attach track to post with 1 - 1 1/2” Torx Screw. Drill hole in track with 1/4”
drill provided. On opposite end of track, screw 1 - 1 1/2” Torx Screw up through the track into bottom
of wood joist. Attach 3 more 1 1/2” Torx Screws evenly spaced along the the track into the bottom of
joist.

5. Before feeding Part B - 109” long Aluminum Wings (4)
with Canopy into track, make sure canopy fabric is facing
the correct direction. First, locate Lead and Anchor Wings in
set. Both have a black pull rope attached. Make sure rope
knots are facing to the inside and the pull rope is facing to
the outside. Starting with the Lead Wing, feed the wing
wheels onto the track as shown above. Wheels have
springs and compress in and out slightly to fit. Feed wings in
the track that is open on the end (gap side) first.
